 * This utility can be used to implement the delay in the body of a spin-wait
 * loop.  Initial iterations of the delay use an exponential backoff that
 * actively spins on the CPU.  However, after a limit is reached, each delay
 * iteration makes an O/S call to yield the processor.
 *
 * @tparam OS               Type which provides O/S primitives.  See
 *                           \ref SYNC_OS.  The \a OS type must define the
 *                           Yield() method.
 * @tparam BACKOFF_LIMIT    The iteration limit, after which each delay
 *                           makes a call to Yield().  Since each iteration is
 *                           exponential, the total delay before doing a
 *                           Yield() is proportional to 2^BACKOFF_LIMIT.
